Opinions on CA's Tribal Gaming Propositions 94-97?

As any guilt-ridden individual, I'm for giving Native Americans any chance to be successful. I'm not totally opposed to the idea of letting the tribes (and only the tribes) expand the casinos. However, after reading some information on the propositions, I'm a bit concerned about these elements:

1. None of the four tribes will be required to use an independent auditor when establishing how much money they made and how much of that money they're supposed to distribute. Under current contract, the tribes are required to use an independent auditor. WHY did they make this change?

2. The passage of the four propositions will allow the tribes to expand their casinos without being subjected to the California Environmental Quality Act. Why?

I'm honestly looking for a reason to vote yes on these propositions, but these two aspects leave me feeling curious and suspicious.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, EPA is federal but the tribal casinos will be exempt from the much stricter California Environmental Quality Act.

1. Saying that The Casinos are helping indians is like saying the lottery is helping schools...yes its true..but not significant.

2. currently a stae auditor is required, but know an independent auditor will be used.

3. EPA is federal and cant be limited by states.
